Lore talk:Elder Scroll

Skyrim image & non-book note

The Imperial Library is using an image for the Elder Scroll that seems to be from the Skyrim data. If so, I think we should likewise be using it here for the Skyrim transclusion. I think the lore page should continue using the Oblivion image, though, because it's less worn and the glyphs are easier to discern. Assuming we can get the full Skyrim version of the scroll, I think the non-book note should be as follows:

{{Non Book|''Note: The background art of an [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scroll]] is a star map of the southern polar region, containing within it most of the southern constellations. The more famous ones are Scorpius (tail part found at the left hand side), Crux (found at the lower center of the Scroll), and Eridanus (found at the top left hand side, with Achernar as the large patch). {{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|Skyrim=The background art is taken from the game data, as the star map is partially obscured in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]. Visit the associated [[Skyrim:Elder Knowledge|quest page]] to see how it appeared in the game and other information.|Lore=This is the [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]] appearance of the background art; the [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]] version, which is more worn but apparently identical, may be viewed [[Skyrim:Elder Scroll|here]].}}''}}

If for some reason the image from TIL is inappropriate, I think we should continue to transclude the Oblivion image to the Skyrim namespace (see the discussions on the Skyrim talk page), with the following non-book note:

{{Non Book|''Note: The background art of an [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scroll]] is a star map of the southern polar region, containing within it most of the southern constellations. The more famous ones are Scorpius (tail part found at the left hand side), Crux (found at the lower center of the Scroll), and Eridanus (found at the top left hand side, with Achernar as the large patch). {{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|Skyrim=This is the [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]] appearance of the background art, which is partially obscured in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]. To see how it appeared in Skyrim and other information, see the associated [[Skyrim:Elder Knowledge|quest page]].|Lore=This is the [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]] appearance of the background art, which is partially obscured in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]].}}''}}

Either way, the note should be changed to clarify how the scroll appears in Skyrim. Minor Edits 04:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

This is it?

Shouldn't there be a bit more here? I mean, this article is about the centerpiece of the ES games! SirEricTheEuphoric1 (talk) 15:25, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

This is an article about an Elder Scroll. For information on Elder Scrolls, see Lore:Elder Scrolls. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 16:18, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
